EICR & Fixed Wire Testing
A full periodic inspection and test of your installation, coded to BS 7671, with a plain-English report, particularly worthwhile where the wiring has been in service for decades.
A historic town tends to have historic wiring. We inspect and certify electrical installations in and around Battle (older cottages, rural properties and everything between) and explain what we find in plain English.

Every installation, however old, is inspected and coded against the current edition of BS 7671, not the rules it was built under.
Older properties deserve careful hands. Ours are backed by £2,000,000 of insurance cover on every inspection and every repair.
The phone line is answered day and night, so a worrying burning smell in an old cottage never waits until morning.
Battle is a historic small town, and its housing shows it. In the town itself and the countryside around it, many properties are older cottages and rural homes whose electrical installations have been serving quietly for decades, often extended a circuit at a time as needs changed. Wiring like that can be perfectly sound, but the only way to know is a proper inspection.
An EICR is a methodical inspection of the whole installation (fuse board, circuits, earthing and bonding), coded to the current edition of BS 7671. With long-serving installations we take particular care over what age affects most: earthing arrangements, older cable types and the protection at the board. Our electricians are City & Guilds qualified, the report is explained in plain English, and the certificate is included in the price.
If you let a property in or around Battle, the rules are straightforward: rented homes in England need an EICR at least every five years under the 2020 regulations. For owner-occupied homes, every ten years is the usual recommendation, sooner if the installation is elderly or you have noticed problems. We are based in Bexhill-on-Sea, cover Sussex, and the phone is answered around the clock.
We can usually attend within a day, often the same day, and every quote is itemised before any work starts.

Rented homes in England need an EICR at least every five years under the 2020 regulations. We certify Battle lets, older cottages and rural properties included, without fuss.
Buying an older property is buying its wiring too. A homebuyer EICR tells you exactly what you are taking on before you commit, in plain English.
Many long-serving boards predate RCD protection entirely. We replace ageing fuse boards with modern consumer units that protect the wiring (and the people) behind them.
If your report raises codes, we quote for the fixes item by item before any work starts, so you decide what happens next and when.
Some installations reach the end of a long, honest life. When repair no longer makes sense, we rewire sympathetically, planned around your home, not the other way round.
If the wiring in your Battle home has quietly done its job for decades, it has earned a proper look. Call whenever suits (the phone is answered 24/7) and we will arrange your inspection.
